Better known as a maker of abstract “visual music” films, California-based German émigré Oskar Fischinger was nevertheless also a prolific painter, producing hundreds of canvases between the late 1930s and the 1950s. Painting and filmmaking were conjoined processes for him: his constructivist, rhythmically dynamic, Bauhaus-influenced style is unmistakable in both mediums. His hand-painted film animations are paintings set in motion, realizing his aim to visualize the rhythmic and vibrational essences of music. His paintings are films frozen in time, the pulsing movement of his visual music technique lending the canvases a profound vibrational energy.
